That Awkward 9 month Update – Life of a TV Set Stylist
Soooooo it’s been about 9 months since my last post. Oops! And no, I’m not creating a little human. I thought I needed a short update post on what’s been happening before jumping into what’s new and exciting. Here’s the deal – I unexpectedly ended up getting a job working in TV. I know, don’t…

The Puppy Blues: Life with and without Harvey
Happy new year everyone! I hope you had a lovely holiday season, whatever that means to you. I’m going to start the year off with some real talk. I don’t get too personal on here because although it’s my blog it’s also a place of work and crying in front of your coworkers isn’t the…

2015 Sweet Escape Review
Well, looky who’s back. Why is it sooooo hard to get back into the swing of things after the holiday madness? Like why do I all of a sudden turn into a sloth? Not surprisingly there’s been a whole lotta reviews, roundups, reflections, predictions, and goal setting for the past and present year popping up…

LIFE: taking a left
Ok, so most of the times I absolutely hate Mondays (who doesn’t?) but you know what’s the one thing they are actually really great for? A fresh start. It’s like pressing a mini reset button every week. Most of the time it’s probably more like hitting Replay but still, the fresh start button is there…

LIFE: Monday Update

LIFE: let’s talk depression
I didn’t even know I was going to write this post until I started writing it this morning. I was quickly reminded by all forms of social media when I woke up that’ it’s Let’s Talk Day – a mental illness awareness campaign by Bell. Not that there’s any rules when you have your own…

LIFE: I dare you to give
So you’re about to get totally bombarded by everything holiday – shopping, crafting, socializing, wish lists, gift guides etc. and this blog won’t be an exception but before we get too caught up in the holiday hoopla it’s nice to pause for a minute and think about giving. Not gift giving, like real life giving…

GOOD EATS: healthy green smoothie
Ok folks, time for some healthy living talk. I would like to say that I try to live a healthy lifestyle but in all honesty, I can’t say that’s been true recently. I mean I don’t have completely horrible habits but it’s been an adjustment for someone who works from home and hates routine. A…

THE SWEET ESCAPE TURNS ONE!
Wow! One year ago I decided to take this little baby blog of mine to the next level and boy have we come a long way. Almost 400 posts later, I’m still going strong & growing. I’m like a proud mama. There’s been ups and downs and it’s been a cray cray amount of work…

{A PERSONAL NOTE: the RSVP}
It’s not often that I write a completely personal post but I have something that’s important to me to say and I happen to have a forum to say it on. My intention isn’t just to rant but more of an open letter and maybe make people think. If they want to disagree or dismiss…

Motivational Monday: What I learned at Alt
It’s been a whirlwind for me since I got back from Alt Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah last week and I finally had some time to sit down and write a post. Then I realized that in the craziness of the week I somehow accidently deleted ALL my alt photos!! Talk about a big…

{INPIRATION: momentarily tapped out}
It just about killed me to get everything ready for Alt and make sure the blog was going to be well taken care of while I was busy learning how to be a better blogger. The good blogger would be starting their Alt recaps (it was amazing BTW!) but this blogger is in sensory overload.…

God, I love this blonde big bossomed woman. Wishing her the happiest birthday today. I still have no idea how she plays guitar with those nails. Here’s my little ode to Dolly Parton on her special day. I Will Always Love You.
